The Other Side by Jacqueline Woodson and E.B.

It is the dividing line between the Black and white sides of the community. This story can nicely encourage children to think about segregation and racism, making connections, sharing feelings, personifying, discussing author's viewpoints and messages, and using higher-order thinking. Watercolors are an effective medium to convey the outside (setting) and the realistic nature of the story. They asked relevant questions which led to a rich discussion.This book was on my to-read list.

And I loved that the narrator's Mom noticed the blossoming friendship and subtly encouraged it.
This book was a WOW book because it is full of joy and wonder. Jacqueline Woodson’s hopeful story takes place around the middle of the 20thcentury, but its message carries great weight at the start of the 21st.The fences to be climbed over today may be more symbolic than literal, but children can nonetheless understand the importance of crossing those divides and making connections. Can they become friends? The fence is intended to keep Black and White townspeople segregated from each other. I love how the children, particularly the two new friends, are described and depicted. Hearing an account of two contrasting lives in one similar setting is interesting because students are able to see how much just the color of one's skin can change their whole life.

The natural setting of summer and swings, jump ropes, puddles, clouds and friends playing outside sets the tone for the natural development of friendship between two girls who see each other from a blurry distance, but as the story develops they come closer and into clearer focus. Great springboard for discussion! This beautiful story, metaphor, glimpse into the thoughts of young girls living in the country in the 1950s is suitably illustrated in natural water color hues of yellow, blue, green and brown. A fence stretches through the town where Clover, the young African American narrator of this story, lives. This is the kind of book I needed this week. The story starts when the little black girl, Clover plays on one side of the fence while Annie, sits up on top of the fence. In this particular book the issue is racial segregation and the "fence" as both the literal & metaphoric point of separation of people based on skin color. by G.P. However, I like how this story implies criticizing the shameful history of segregation with the viewpoints of young children in this story. She notices a girl sitting on the fence, and eventually gets courage to sit with her. This book has an enduring theme and can generate rich discussion around issues of equity and just and unjust rules/norms/laws.What a pure delight to combine the writing of Newbery honor winner Jacqueline Woodson and the award-winning illustrations of E.B. Hearing an account of two contrasting lives in one similar setting is interesting because students are able to see how much just the color of one's skin can change their whole life. I thought it was brave for the little girls to push the boundaries set by their parents, sitting on the fence at first, but not crossing it; testing the waters to see what would happen. Jacqueline Woodson's lyrical prose introduces such a complicated subject with just a few carefully selected words, and E.B. After reading the book, I quickly decided to share it with my class as a read-aloud. Clover felt like she couldn't talk to Annie, she didn't know why. We’d love your help.
